Vienam poste kalbėjau apie augaliukus. Tai va, susipažinkit- Bob, the cactus. Tikiuosi greitu metu parūpinti jam draugą.
Pamenat Bob, the cactus? tai va, čiūvas paaugo ir draugelių susirado. Be to, turit idėjų kaip pavadinti tą rožinį storulį dešinėj?

Cacti along the U.S.-Mexican Border
From 1848 to 1855, the United States conducted a survey of the U.S.-Mexican border under the leadership of American surveyor and civil engineer William H. Emory. The survey established the border between the United States and Mexico as defined in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and the results were reported in this three-volume set, Report on the United States and Mexican Boundary Survey, published in Washington D.C. by government printer Cornelius Wendell from 1857-1859.
In addition to its documentation of the new boundary, the survey report was notable for its natural history content, including the most comprehensive vegetative investigation ever conducted on the 1,969 mile border between Mexico and the United States. Many botanists took part in different legs of the Survey, including the German-American botanist George Engelmann who wrote the section on Cactaceae.
The illustrations shown here, which include several species of cacti, are by the German-American artist and botanist Arthur Schott. The engravings were engraved by William Henry Dougal andJames David Smillie. The chromolithograph of Tohono O'odham (Papago) women harvesting Organ Pipe Cactus fruit was printed by the New York firm of Sarony, Major & Knapp.

Eat the fuckin cactus, Greg. It’s edible and has a lot of water in it, just fuckin eat it. This isn’t a euphemism, Greg, eat the fUCKIN CACTUS-
- mountain lions run towards you, bobcats run away from you.
- bring lots of water. all the water you can carry. it will be taken, so bring extra.
- the snakes will ask you to join them in the shade. do NOT follow them.
- sandstone is the most reliable building material, but you will have to pay. just stick to packed dirt and gravel.
- agave plants collect water and you can chew most of them to get it, but don’t swallow. also, the plant that was there yesterday is not the same as the one there today.
- bones are to be expected, but try not to disturb them.
- same with raw minerals and gemstones. they aren’t there for you.
- the vultures circle for fun. it’s when the ravens show up that you’re gonna die.
- cloudy nights are brighter than the full moon.
- coyotes will eat what you give them but will not respond to any name. they know your name, though.
- contrary to popular belief, there are trees here. joshua trees are friendly, but they don’t know much. bristlecone pines know everything.
- it may be tempting to carve your initials somewhere. don’t do it. that’s a contract.
- lizards are good if you don’t mind a lot of salt.
- Burros may come up to you carrying saddle bags full of supplies. they’ve been here since the spanish settlers, so the supplies are long expired.
- the gila monsters are venomous, but they don’t like the taste of humans.
- play the music as loud as you want. no one else can hear you
- you might find a neat but dusty living room in the dry lakebeds. those are normal and you can rest there for the night, but don’t overstay your welcome.
- have fun! keep your boots tight, keep your gun close, and die with your mask on if you’ve got to.
The only valid music genre to listen to on the open roads of the Mojave is classic rock ☉

-red sand
-mesas,plateaus,canyons,etc.
- GRAND. CANYON.
-biker gang biker gang
-skulls and dead plants
-C A C T U S
-sand again
- carrion birds
- aliens ! ! !
-strange truckstops and motels
- loose graphic tees and tank tops
- cold, cold empty nights
- long empty roads
- big empty scenery and space
- enjoying the moment rather the destination
- a feeling of contentment or nothing
- not caring about anything and just vibing
- dust everywhere
- a small group of friends you do alot with or a lone travel
- travel
- sun and hot weather
- sludge, stoner, and heavy rock along with classic american folk
-lizerds
-cute-cool things always allowed
-portable older technology? (flipphones, Ds, gameboy)
